This was inspired by a photograph by Ansel Adams I saw on a web site. It was the one with tombstones in a graveyard with lighting very similar to this. As soon as I spotted just what the sunlight was doing to this scene I knew I had to give it the "treatment".

So glad it caught your discerning eye and imagination. Many thanks for your very supportive and encouraging comment mate.

Thank you for the "double entry", for your very encouraging "Wow,..." and for some more names for me to look up.

When I first saw this scene with that photograph of Ansel's in mind, it was the contrast that atracted me. I then set about photographing and processing for the contrast. There were a few dud versions until I settled on this. I also like the "grain" in the image, making it look more like an authentic film B&W.It did very well in an annual regional camera club competition which made me very happy.

Thank you very much for taking the time to stroll through my gallery. I am so glad you have enjoyed the experience.Thank you too for your most generous and encouraging comment for this award winning B&W. It is certainly one of my favourites.

So nice to have you all with me on the bridge watching the sunlight paint this scene.Thank you heaps (x3) for your uplifting and encouraging "Excellent...", "Great..." and "Very intriguing..." wraps for my contrasty achitectural effort.

Welcome to Port and happy to have you with me on the bridge taking in this arty architectural scene.Many thanks indeedy for your belated congratz and your generous and encouraging comment on this high contrast effort.
